A lot of silent calls recently from numbers with dialling code 01942. Suspect it is phishing or a scam. Now don’t answer them and block the numbers.

Receiving lots of calls recently from numbers that are obscure to me. If it was a genuine call, they surely would have left a voicemail, but no. Number search gave me 1 result, here, no website of a company. My guess is scam.
